delicioso! It was so yummy I bit the inside of my cheek because I was eating so fast . Attentive service from Christian at the bar. Carnitas paired perfectly with a modelo. I got the corn tortilla for a more traditional experience. Looking forward to enjoying more items on their food and bev menu. Thank you for delighting me!

Finally made it here! I love Mexican food and this town has a glut of places though, sadly, some of the best went out (RIP La Fiesta). So when I can try one that is solid and surprising I am happy. We met some friends here at 6 on a Saturday and it was packed! Not sure what kind of clientele I expected but it was a variety of people. I admittedly shied away from coming because of the lack of parking but we’d gone to Brass Tap at 5 and found a space right away.

I’m a huge fan of the Patty Melt taco, and the Buffalo Cauliflower taco is delicious as well but it would be easier to eat if the cauliflower was cut in smaller pieces. Overall, fantastic food and margaritas!

Went based on a friends recommendation. Thought well here goes nothing spending $45 on tacos, but I ll give it a shot. So stopped and picked up the 12 Tacos Kit to go box and an order of queso with the chorizo and smoked jalapeño. I called at 6pm, they answered the phone immediately, they were cheerful and polite, even checked with the kitchen to verify how long it would be. Said 20 to 30 mins, I was there in 25 and it was ready. Even after the 15min ride home. Food was fresh and still pretty damn warm.

Wonderful atmosphere and great service from the waitress/waiter. I was disappointed in the food. The tacos were cold, greasy and wet (not in a good way), and I didn’t like the corn. I was unaware that they charged for lemonade refill. Overly priced for subpar food. 2 stars bc staff was nice and very chilled atmosphere.

The guacamole was very good, the chips were a little thick. The queso was a little tight (thick).

Great service. She talked me into trying to things I didn’t go there to order. Happy I listened. Definitely will pay you back to try the elote apparently it’s so popular they sold out. would have never thought about fried plantain and ice cream together it was so delicious.

Well we were very impressed! Not only is the restaurant very clean, the service was perfect and the drinks were strong. No need to get more than 2 drinks. Our server seemed very knowledgeable about the style and preparations of the food. The best thing about this location is it’s authenticity. We just returned from Cozmel, Mexico 2 months ago and they nailed everything but the queso.

The service and food were good, and the ambiance fitting. The menu is mostly food truck fare tacos which there is a good variety of. The tacos themselves were tasty, but rather difficult to eat “taco” style and utensils were not provided. I am sure I could have asked for a fork, but I managed to persevere (slowly and methodically) with minimal mess.
